Going up hill going home on a deserted highway at 3am



I manage to hit 225km/h before....

 

very nice...

 

damn your car is running really hot, any particular reason?

 

I'm confused....I thought that all FC's redlined at 7,000rpm....why does yours go up to 8,000?

 

spoolup, it's a nonturbo so it has a higher redline

 

the 89-91 N/A 's redline at 8. is that 4th??? must be.

and ya kinda hot there...

 

ahh...i guess that makes sense. Didn't notice the electrical gauge in place of the boost gauge rite away. Do any T2 people who port their motors and rev higher ever switch out their gauge cluster for an N/A one? Would it just swap rite in?

 

LOL, at 130 MPH, shouldn't you be looking at the road instead of taking snapshots of the cluster? Just a thought

 

"spoolup, it's a nonturbo so it has a higher redline"
My 86 N/A redlines at 7000, how can I tell if its been swapped for a TII ???

 

I'm not really the one to ask....but if it doesn't have a stock boost gauge in it....i doubt it's from a TII

 

:


In other ways than it says 7000 rpm.
Is there any tell tell signs that I should look for...

 

sorry about the stupid thing, I guess i was a little slow reposting the addendum to my own post.
And it doesnt have an boost-gauge

 

I'll say. Your a freak Pd!

 

i always thought that the s4's red lined at 7 and the s5's redlined at 8, thats including na and turbo...

 

That little volt gauge is so cute...

 

your oil pressure seems pretty low to me, your guage is diff from mine but at 7500 rpm i would think it would be higher

 

S4 N/A redlines at 7k, S5 N/A redlines at 8k. The N/A also had the voltmeter while the T2 had a boost gauge there.

 

yeah, i was gonna say that too...my cars have markings of 30,60, etc...i've never seen "4 and 8" before...

 

Ahhh come on u can do better then that!

 

nice. i just like those speedometers. not use to seeing those high of numbers even though its km. 4th pull??

 

i gotta find me some deserted highways near here

 

Oh, the oil pressure is in kg2/mm, so it's 4-8.
It's probably low because with 130mph of -2C wind blowing at the oil cooler, the oil would get thick quick!

The temperature gauge only has 3 mods in S5 cars. Cold, Operating and BLOWN Motor....I am in Operating rite now..... It's been like that since I got the car, since I put the new motor in....so ...
I'll get my claimed 225km/h next time

 

i wonder if there is any way to swap a TII cluster for a s5 na, after you buy a fuel cut elimanator the boost guage isn't even right...

 

come on! you can do better then that!

pls tell me you didn't take the pic yourself.

ie driving at insane speed with one hand, and 1/2 concentration, trying to take picture.

are you stupid?

btw get a new rad. and you oil pressure is low.

at 4th gear redline my oil gauge would read 8 kg/mm^2
and that is with 20W50 oil too.

care to sample the darkside nextime? i took a C70 volvo just before i put the car away, stupid ******* was tailgating me at 175 kph and i moved over to the middle lane, then he takes off, so i give him space and i take off... i backed off around 230 or so... i think his car hit his top speed limiter cuz he just stopped accerlating at 220
=)

 

Cheers!, care to race a certain silver Volvo S70 on the highway sometime?

We topped it out at 255km/h a few days ago.
